Healthy Cleaning Naturally with Norwex (giveaway)

When we clean our homes we want them to be shiny, sparkly and, well, clean. We want the germs killed and messes cleaned up. We trust that the products that we use are doing their jobs, right? They are cleaning and disinfecting and making our homes better. But what if they aren’t? What if what you’re cleaning your home with may be harming your family or creating a more toxic home? It’s true, most of the cleaning products we have on our homes are unhealthy and can actually be hurting you more than helping.

There are many different natural cleaning products that can clean your home. My opinion after having a non-toxic home for over 10 years now is that the natural products work better than the chemicals. I know my house gets cleaner, not only healthier, when I use my non-toxic natural products. There are a lot of different ways to clean your home naturally and lots of products that you can purchase or make yourself. I’m so thankful that there are all of these options. You can make everything, buy everything or use a mixture of both. Personally I do a mixture of both, some things I buy and some I make and it works for us.

I want to share with you one of my favorite ways to clean my house. It is with Norwex cleaning cloths.

I am NOT a distributor with Norwex, I had the opportunity to meet with a distributor, use some products and share them with you only because I love them so much and feel they could be a great solution to natural cleaning in your homes too. 

I love Norwex because you are able to get so much of your house squeaky clean with the use of very little products. After your initial investment of purchasing the products you want, you have a cleaning tool that you can use over and over.

Norwex is a company full of natural cleaning and home products. They are most well known for their microfiber cloths. They contain antic micro silver which inhibits bacterial odor, mold or mildew growth within the product. That means when you clean your surface you pick up all of the unwanted things (like the dust and bacteria) and it actually cleans the cloth so as you keep using it you will continue to clean your house, not just moving things around. It’s clean, naturally.

I also love the versatility that my Norwex products allow me.

  • My favorite product that I use all the time is my Enviro cloth and Window cloth (WIN THESE BELOW). The window cloth is the best thing to use to dry after using the Enviro cloth and  it will give you the most amazing streak-less clean
  • I have a bathroom cleaning mitt (Pink checked one pictured above) so I can get a little more elbow grease when cleaning the bathrooms
  • The blue hand mitt is for dusting and works great to dust quickly. I know I’m not the only one who cleans in small bursts of time. We also have a huge iron banister in our home and this dusting mitt works great and also protects my hand from being scratched by the banister
  • We have the mop with the dry and wet heads and it does an amazing job cleaning the entire first level of our home, which is all wood floors. It saves me time and I know my floor is clean
  • The Enviro wand (lime green) is a perfect for dusting hard to reach places. I use it for my wood blinds and the corners of our rooms and high woodwork. It’s handheld and can be attached to the mop to extend even further. It allows me to clean the top windows in our second story vault in our home
  • The cleansing paste is amazing for cleaning dirt out of grout. It restores your grout to look new
  • Pictured above also are stainless steel straws (great to use instead of plastic)

I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Diane, an independent distributor with Norwex. She is sponsoring a giveaway of the Enviro cloth and Window cloth for my website launch week. And if you want to learn more about Norwex, feel free to contact Diane at Dganje630 (at) gmail (dot) com. She’s here to answer your questions about Norwex products or if you want to place an order for any products.

@alliebstuckey so beautifully said. And a challeng @alliebstuckey so beautifully said. And a challenge to be more bold in my own faith. 

Friends: Be bold for Jesus. It isn’t always the easiest choice when living in this fallen world. But it is the most meaningful, purposeful, joyful, and eternal thing you can do. We were created to be in relationship with our creator. 

Study your Bible, pray, believe in faith what Christ did for you on the cross, teach your kids, love people well while speaking the truth in love. 

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

And if you don’t know Christ yet, know he died for you. And he wants to be in relationship with you. 

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 10:9 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Romans 10:10 “For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”

Romans 10:13 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
The girls and I are unboxing our goodies from Skou The girls and I are unboxing our goodies from Skout Organic. We have bought hundreds of the kid Skout Bars over the years. And their cookies, so delish. 

They are all gluten free and made with healthy ingredients. Before Skout bar we were buying Larabars. Which are great in a pinch, but I didn’t love the non organic nuts and my girls eating them multiple times per week. So I bought the Skout bars and in my opinion, they are a lot better and come in more flavors.

I have to say, I still haven’t tried the lemon poppy seed cookies, but they are going to be sampled tomorrow and I can’t wait. It’s one of my favorite flavors. 

Have you tried any Skout Organic products yet??

How many of you resonate with one or more of these How many of you resonate with one or more of these? 

I get it, I’ve been there and it is so easy to get stuck in one or many of these pitfalls. I am writing about this now because I think so many people tell you these black and white ways of thinking are right and there’s nothing bad about thinking like this. 

But there is such hidden danger lurking in this mentality I think it has burned SO MANY PEOPLE. And I may have been apart of this culture and thinking, unknowingly. Do you know when your eyes are opened you can’t unsee things, that’s how I feel now. 

But these are really all trying to cover the fear and desire for control with wisdom. And it is so common. It is an idol of control and the weight of that is overwhelming and heavy. I secretly want to poll all of the health influencers and practitioners and see if they struggle with this idol of controlling their health. But it is disguised as good. I bet the numbers would be way higher than you ever thought. 

But what if there is a middle ground? What if you can be healthy and have it somehow strike a version of that illusive balance? What if you can have freedom in your health and still make healthy choices? Doesn’t that sound so good? Do you feel like you can breathe a little deeper? Or finally relax? 

I will tell you this is possible. But it doesn’t happen overnight, it can take some time and that is ok. It is really changing the wiring on how you think about health and your body. But if you keep working on breaking free of fear and control you can get that freedom back again. 

In my next post I want to share some ways you can break out of the fear.
Friend…. I completed 15 pushups almost everyday in Friend…. I completed 15 pushups almost everyday in June. This is such an accomplishment for me. Let me explain. 

I was going to make an even better reel, but I didn’t because tech takes too long 😉. So I’m going old school and writing a long post. 

Ever since 2020 I’ve believed there is something wrong with my body. Chronic unexplained symptoms abounded. Some 24/7. For years! 

And finally in 2024/ 2025 I realized a lot of my symptoms were from stress and fear. And they created a fear response of me avoiding, thinking my body was broken, and looking for a supplement/ detox fix. 

And 6 months ago I said that’s enough. What if I’m really not broken? What if God’s healing is coming by Him doing a massive internal transformation in me? 

I’m breaking down old legalistic beliefs, working on things I fear, putting less pressure on myself, realizing my symptoms aren’t dangerous, starting to workout in response to the belief I’m actually strong, and so much more. 

Ultimately, surrendering and trusting the Lord is the root. It’s so spiritual in nature. 

I’ve seen a lot of progress. And there is still progress to go. 

But when I saw @alliebstuckey post about the push up challenge in June I knew I had to do it. I wanted to show myself my trength. That I can show up for myself. I can prove I can do it. 

And I did. And I’m so proud of myself. I see my body, mind, and nervous system healing. And had to share this video. And let me tell you, this video is really more of a highlight reel for me and not you 💕. But please, join in with me in this celebration!! 

And I want to tell you that you can show up well and balanced for yourself. Show yourself your body is strong because your body is strong! Even if there is healing and recovery that needs to happen, you are still so strong! 

PS. I chose this song because of the greatest showman YouTube video of the first time she sang this. Iykyk. If not, go look it up. GOOSEBUMPS!!

Well, I have to start somewhere. Celebrating the l Well, I have to start somewhere. Celebrating the little victories (that are actually really big) and trusting God in the process!!
Do your attempts to get healthy borders on obsessi Do your attempts to get healthy borders on obsession or orthorexia? Somehow you are now stressed about EVERYTHING being a toxin and brain is swirling with that all day, every day?. 

Does that sound like you? Or maybe just me 🤷🏻‍♀️ (please tell me I'm not the only one!)

I just don't think that's the Lord's plan for our lives and thought lives. I think there is another way to do health differently than our country and yet not become fearful and all-consumed with it all. We can be aware, make wise decisions, and let the rest be in the Lord's hands.

Most of you know I've taken 7 months off of posting regular content on my Instagram page. I only intended to stop posting for 2-4 weeks. But I realized I was stuck in this mental loop of always thinking about my health and my symptoms and then I was in a business where I only posted about health. That needed to stop. And when I slowed that loop I realized hey, I don't even want to post, so I didn't. 

Are you living in that balance now? Or teetering in the imbalance? If you are feeling imbalanced, the first thing is to NOT beat yourself up about it. If you have had chronic symptoms, I think it is our body's protective mechanism to put us in this loop. But the lie is that we aren't safe with symptoms... but we are safe if things medically check out fine. 

To get out of that mind loop, I would encourage you to take these thoughts captive. When they come in, give them to the Lord, and choose to think about something true and lovely and beautiful. Do this as often as you need which will probably be numerous times per day! 

It sounds easy but it isn't. Simple, yes. Easy, no. Put your faith in Christ and trust that he can renew your mind back to a healthy balance of holistic health. And if you suffer from symptoms... I do believe this is foundational for symptom resolution too.
